So, I got a 7 day ban for "PM Ad Spam". Firstly I'd like to know what that means. I do, as I imagine others do too, send a few messages to services/gambling sites offering my service as a Campaign Manager and asking them if they'd like to give it a go here at the forum. I never send mass pm's or CC in anyone else, I always add a personal touch to my messages even though the message as a whole may seem similar and I NEVER send more than 1 message to any of them without getting a reply.

I believe that over the last year I've probably sent 50-60 messages in this nature where I've asked them if they'd be interested. I can't recall (although I'm not allowed to check my outbox due to this ban) ever sending more than 4-5 messages on any given day of this nature.

Due to having a shitty week where I got some devastating news I don't mind spending a week off but I'd just like to know more than anything how this happens and what I can do to avoid it in the future. Am I never allowed to send a message such as this where I offer my service?
